There’s an ongoing sidewalk photo exhibit at the vicinity of the Cebu Provincial Capitol. Dubbed as “Seven Days in Cebu” because the photographers spent about a week in the province, the exhibit comes in relation with the week long celebrations of the 439th anniversary of the founding of the Province of Cebu. The photos include scenes representing each municipality in Cebu. The photographers responsible for the crisp and superbly shot photos are Tonee Despojo of Cebu Daily News, Chito Cleofas of the Federation of Philippine Photographers, Cheryl Baldicantos of the Cebu Provincial Capitol, Noel Celis of Manila Bulletin, Ryan Lim of Philippine Daily Inquirer, Melyn Acosta of PCPO/Malacañang, Ferdinand Edralin of The Freeman, and Revoli Cortez of The Philippine Star.

Hopefully this will set a precedent for more rehabilitation projects in the future that would help in the revitalization of the old district of Cebu City, commonly referred to as “downtown.”
